Sunday early morning ride.

It is cold and clear and 6:30 am. Off out for my Sunday mooring ride. I see
some nice dawns on these early morning trips . Wind is low . Going now!

We got the tandem out yesterday but it's a bit too chilly for Peter
this morning. I'm just off to church on the Brom.

Just got back with 25 miles on the clock.Fantastic morning clear sky and a
great sunrise!

It was cold but my knee warmers kept my knees working -- but my new winter
gloves aren't as good as my old ones. I had to stop to defrost my fingers.

I confess to taking one of those gel pack things which can fit into your
pocket . I was glad I did and I activated it to warm my hands -- and then put
it into the back pocket of my top. It made a nice little warm spot at the
bottom of my back

Which type of gel warmers do you use and how much are they, Trevor.
I've been looking at some toastie toes buy only found them for £2
each, they are a quarter of that price in USA!
My Knee warmers, and overshoes are stuck at the Royal Mail parcel
office which is closed today. Damn!

Ah but I didn't take my gloves of so it was a gentle warm -- not a hot one

I remember at the top of the mountain at Roncevalles ( 2004 pilgrimage ride)
having come up in rain sleet snow fog and I had lost my gloves the day before!
I arrived in this little bar near hypothermic I dripped water everywhere and
while the coffee was arriving I held my hands under a cold water tap to ease
them back to life!

The ones I got were from LIDL a couple of years ago -- I normally use one in
bed at night when the ache in my right arm and shoulder gets too intrusive.
But they can be very hot directly on the skin and you need to be careful

They were a pack of 4 for not very much -- £3 ?

"off to Church" eh - I must admit I had not seen you as a religious
person.

Is lying acceptable in the eye of your God?

Surely the things which you do and say cannot be in line with the
teachings of your church.

Why not have a word with the priest and seek advice on how to deal
with people - what is, and what is not, a Christian act - what is and
what is not acceptable.

Many of the facts below in an article seem, on the face of it, to
suggest that helmets are not worthwhile. This could not be further
from the truth; helmets are an excellent idea. Children in particular
should wear them every time they get on a bike. The point is, although
there is no guarantee that a helmet will save your life if you come
off, it's 100% certain that your helmet won't save your life if you're
not wearing it. - Guy Chapman

Ever tried a copper wrist-band for that? Worked for me.
Won't keep you warm though.

This was a very late response to an old post.

Surprisingly my 101 yr old dad wears one on each wrist and believes they work.

I do not believe -- but then I have never tried it!
